Crunchy Slaw With Pecans, Sunflower Seeds and Almonds

Salad

Recipe courtesy of Jyl Benson

Serves 10 to 12

Ingredients: 
  • 1 stick margarine
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup roasted sunflower seeds
  • 1 cup sliced or slivered almonds
  • 3 packages Ramen noodles (seasoning packages discarded), crushed
  • 1/2 head red cabbage, shredded
  • 1/2 head green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
  • Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper, to taste

Note: A weird dish, to be sure. Ramen noodles and nuts in a salad? Strange as it sounds this is always a huge crowd pleaser, perfect  with grilled or roasted meats. Vegan friendly.

Method: 

Melt margarine in a large, heavy bottomed pan over medium heat. Add nuts, seeds and Ramen, lower heat to medium-low and cook until golden, approximately 10 minutes. Cool.

Add cabbage to a very large salad bowl. Add nut mixture. In a separate bowl or jar make dressing with oil, soy and vinegar. Season with the salt, pepper and sugar to taste. Toss dressing with salad.

Serve.



NOTE: Save time by using 1 lb. pre-packaged coleslaw mix in place of the cabbage.
